Case Study on ABC Company
For this case study I have visited an ABC chemical distributor which is located in rear of large metropolitan shopping precinct. ABC chemical purchases large quantities of cleaning chemicals.
ABC Chemical Company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of specialty chemicals technologically sophisticated materials that find their way into applications in a variety of major markets.
It is located nearby Aged Care Centre in within 50 meters of areas; there is also a small garden.
The building of ABC company is look like built 10-12 years back as we can see there are limited numbers of equipment available at present and neither evacuation procedure plan nor enough emergency exits are in building. When I visited it they received a delivery of chemicals almost 200 containers; as I observed the staff moving away all the containers, it looked like they aren’t properly trained nor know how to cope with emergencies.
What legislation applies and how it can complied with
A. Controlled substances ACT(1984)
B. Controlled substances (chemical) Regulation 1996
